The Balmoral Apple Mugs feature a bold apple design, reminiscent of Enzo Mari’s “La Mela” pattern from the 1960s.
The apple design come in a range of colours that you wouldn’t normally associate with the fruit; blue, lilac, orange and yellow, as well as the more natural red and green.
The mugs cost just under £10 each from The Hambledon.

These Contrast Button and Bow Shoes are a great example of their dedication to 40s and 50s design. The contrast colours, combined with the cutesy tuxedo style detailing on the vamp, are immediately evocative of forties style.
They're available online from ASOS's Outlet store for just £35.
When we think 80s, there's some style points of the era's fashion that crop up in everyone's memory. The use of androgyny was a staple for some years, and this Dusky Pink Jersey Blazer from Miss Selfridge does that perfectly.
The oversized cut of the blazer gives an instant air of the 'menswear-on-ladies' look that was so popular, while the pink shade couldn't be from any other era. Short ruched sleeves and a deep, low neckline combine to give this the perfect cut for eighties style.

Christian Louboutin's designs veer effortlessly from cutting edge, modern looks to instantly recognisable vintage odes, all providing covetable designer shoes. This pair are firmly rooted in vintage inspiration, and it's plain to see.

Towering heels are counterbalanced by the best craftsmanship to ensure these are much more wearable than they look.

If the recently-featured Rodriguez House wasn't quite your thing, maybe you'll appreciate another classic property from the same era – the John Lautner-designed Schaffer Residence in Glendale, California.
Designed by Lautner back in 1949 and apparently sold fully restored to its original late 40s glory, the Schaffer Residence, located in a wooded valley at the foot of the Verdugo Mountains, is made of redwood, concrete and glass and very much open plan, bringing the surrounding nature into your home if you like. Indeed, with all that wood panelling, you'll think you were in the woods each and every morning.
